Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Hoo Park Bridge. Designed by Sir William Chambers and dating from around 1764 the bridge gave a grand entrance from the east to the Hoo Park estate. As Rob points out in 160375 the bridge passes over a ditch, and not, as one might expect, the River Mimram which flows anonymously under the access road to the bridge a little way to the east. The ditch is now dry and was probably part of the landscaping of the estate, rather than a naturally formed watercourse. Recently the bridge fell into such a state of serious disrepair that it was included in the Buildings at Risk Register. However maintenance works, mainly funded by a grant from English Heritage, have restored it to its original condition. The bridge is marked in Gothic text on the OS 1:25,000 scale mapping reflecting its antiquity. |
